Which DC3?

Many Lapuns on this forum have probably heard the story of an ex WW2 DC3 bought post hostilities in USA by an ex hump pilot and becoming the founding Cathay Pacific aircraft (VR-HDB aka Betsy); sold to WR Carpenter (Mandated Airlines?) in 1955 and flying for twenty years in PNG and then for BPA in Queensland before being repurchased in 1983 by Cathay for the Hongkong Museum of Science and Technologies, where afaik it resides to this day.

my question is does anyone know the callsign under which it flew in PNG?
